| Additional information |
Deborah is the only judge in the Book of Judges described as both a military leader and a prophet, and one of the very few women in the Hebrew Bible to hold active political authority. This coin is part of Israel's long-running "Judges of Israel" series, which the Bank of Israel has issued in silver and gold formats since the 1990s, each release drawing on a figure from the biblical period of tribal confederation predating the monarchy.
The series has occasionally attracted controversy over the selection order and relative prominence given to minor versus major judges.
